Lui watches her glancing away, blinking slightly—soon unable to hold back a softer smile than usual, himself looking down. Will you realise how perfect you are, now? He hopes so, wills so, even as her words elicit a similar shame from him, an urge to curl up and retreat from what he thought was definitely a lie. He was nothing… and nothing like that, either.
None of it showing on his face, he grins broadly—lying even to her, huh? He was low, the lowest of the low, he knows it, believes it, and yet… he wasn’t going to hurt her feelings, was he? Hers were infinitely more precious than his, after all.『what?! im not sure thats the look anyone was going for when they made me, ring-nee! its even more of an honour then, right? wwww, thanks!』
He laughs. Really… the lowest of the low.
He smiles as she squeezes his hand, listening to her, slightly uneasy. Can I have some? He wasn’t altogether sure what would happen if he tried to ‘eat’, only that he was unfinished, that he didn’t need to and didn’t try.『hey, youre taking me to the park! i asked you, so you should have some instead, right?』
Even if he’d been confirmed to be able to consume food, maybe he wouldn’t like to anyway. He didn’t want to risk it. Something seemed unsafe about putting that into a machine… all he was, after all.
A small, brief pause before she showed him a small smile. She doesn't know why she feels a little sad. Perhaps it is a way to pay him back? Or to make sure he has fun as well?
She's probably worried as usual.
Mentally shaking away the thoughts, she gave her counterpart a small nod as she confidently digged through her shirt pocket.
Only to abruptly freeze to feel that there is nothing.
Okay... perhaps the other pocket! The wallet in question must be in there--
The other pocket was empty too.
Oh boy, this is embarrassing.
"...Um--! Let's forget about ice-cream actually...!" Must act natural and pretend that she didn't forget her wallet at the house or anything. Oh no totally not.
"L-Let's go, Lui-kun." Taking his hand in hers as she gently dragged the boy towards the park, making sure to hide her face as there's obviously a blush forming.
